Javier Assad, Shelby Miller and more $1 dollar pitcher targets for mixed league auction drafts Gene McCaffrey and Adam Ronis offer up four pitchers apiece who they will be targeting with their last remaining dollars in auction drafts.
Matt Vierling - Hits first spring home run Vierling went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies.
Impact Vierling connected for his first home run in Grapefruit League play, and it's mostly been a struggle this spring, as he's batting just .160 across 11 games. The versatile 27-year-old may have to settle for a bench role this year with Gio Urshela around to play third base, which would cut into Vierling's fantasy value.

Alex Faedo - Continues strong play Faedo tossed two scoreless innings in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Twins. He struck out two.
Impact After allowing two runs over two innings in his first spring appearance back on Feb. 25, Faedo has now logged six straight scoreless innings across three appearances. The righty made 12 starts for the Tigers last season, but with the likes of Kenta Maeda and Jack Flaherty now in the mix, Faedo will likely have to settle for a relief role in 2024.

Riley Greene - Keeps rolling Monday Greene went 1-for-2 with a double in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Astros and is now batting .350 this spring.
Impact Greene's spring debut was delayed slightly as he recovered from his September Tommy John surgery, but the talented outfielder has hit the ground running. He's gone 7-for-20 in nine Grapefruit League contests, with three of those hits going for extra bases. Greene looks ready for the regular season, and the toolsy 23-year-old could be poised for a breakout campaign if he stays healthy.

Jason Foley - Held out Sunday Manager AJ Hinch revealed Sunday that Foley (undisclosed) did not play in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Mets due to "mid-camp fatigue," Chris McCosky of The Detroit N...
Impact Foley was originally slated to pitch Sunday, but was pulled from the lineup with an undisclosed injury. He has struggled in his three appearances in spring training and has allowed three runs on three hits and two walks while striking out three over 2.2 innings.

Matt Manning - Struggles Saturday Manning allowed four earned runs on three hits and two walks across three innings in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates. He struck out five.
Impact Manning was tagged for three home runs, including a two-run blast by Jake Lamb in the first inning. The five strikeouts are encouraging, but Manning now has a subpar 5.63 ERA across three starts this spring. The righty is jockeying for a spot at the back of Detroit's rotation, with Reese Olson looking like his primary competition at this point. Manning could have some fantasy value in the right matchups if he's starting, though he's a risky proposition after dealing with injuries throughout his MLB career so far.
MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE
Tyler Holton - Looks better Saturday Holton pitched a scoreless inning of relief with a strikeout in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates, lowering his spring ERA to 4.50.
Impact Holton had allowed runs in each of his last two spring appearances, but he was sharper Saturday. The lefty now has four strikeouts across four Grapefruit League innings, to go along with a 0.75 WHIP. Holton emerged as a key weapon for the Tigers in 2023, posting a 2.11 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 74 strikeouts across 85.1 innings, working primarily as a long reliever. The southpaw will likely serve in a similar capacity this year, and while he may vulture a few wins, his fantasy value figures to be inconsistent coming out of the bullpen.

Brendan White - Sent to Triple-A The Tigers optioned White (elbow) to Triple-A Toledo on Friday.
Impact White has been held out of game action all spring due to elbow soreness, essentially eliminating his chances of making the Tigers' Opening Day roster. The 24-year-old had a 5.09 ERA over 40.2 frames in his first taste of the big leagues last season.
